Pamper Your Badass Self on Mother’s Day

1. Make a batch of healthy, affordable freezer meals a couple of days in advance so you can lounge around instead of getting stuck in the kitchen. (Bonus tip: Make yourself something special to eat for once the kids are in bed.)

2. For a few dollars, you can order a subscription box filled with samples of your favorite products.

When your package arrives arrives in the mail, stash it on a shelf and wait until Mother’s Day to open it.
